     I have an 08 Road King Classic, non ABS, 60K+ and am having issues with warping disc rotors. First Left Front, then Rear, now Left Front again. Anyone else experienced this? By the way, 30 years riding, 4 Harley's and several UJM's, for the record I DON'T WARP DISCS !

    Cheers Coxy

    Had warped rotors on the front of my '09 FLHT at about 50 thou ks, had them changed under warranty.

    Semi-floaters Hilly, had the first one changed under warranty, others happened out of warranty, always a hassle, still trying to change m/cyl lid, again warranty, ordered it but never come in,

    but on the rotors, I'm talking to local shop, (not authorized stealer) maybe consider changing to solids from previous years

    So must be isolated to MY bike only, I guess I'll be running a dial indicator over the axle/rim/calipers

    I was always taught to do some light braking (even if its unnecessary) before getting up to speed to avoid warped rotors. Going from cold to red hot because you've had to slam them on down the road does damage - that's not to say its the only thing that can cause fucked rotors...
